Following Queen's Blade Rebellion, the next series in the game-based QB franchise is Queen's Blade Grimoire, which promises a fable-based roster of beauties battling for supremacy.

The newly premiered characters include:

Alicia: User of the Darkness in Wonderland - designed by Kurehito Misaki

Zara: Demon Hunting Red Riding Hood - by Fool's

Tina: The Little Mermaid - by Eiwa

Kaguya: Magic Sword Princess - by Saitom

The character is from 10th century Japanese folktale Taketori Monogatari (The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter) - the story of moon princess Kaguya-hime, discovered as a baby inside the stalk of a glowing bamboo plant.
